Corporate Resiliency

Corporate reputation is built up over long periods, but can be lost very quickly. Companies need to build a reservoir of goodwill; without it, your reputation lacks the resiliency to bounce back from the inevitable bumps and crises that hit all organisations. The bottom line is that how an organization prepares for and handles "bad news" is the most important element in determining its overall corporate reputation. It's in times of crisis that trustmarks are made or lost.

Ipsos has developed the concept of organisational resiliency as a key tool in managing corporate reputation. We believe the best way to make your reputation more resilient is to create strong relationships with all the people who matter to your business including: customers, employees, neighbours, investors, legislators, regulators, journalists, pressure groups and others. Building resiliency is an extension of building reputation.

Our Reputation Framework

The Ipsos Reputation Framework is an aid to reputation management. It illuminates the relationship between the building blocks of an organisation's reputation, and the issues and stakeholder groups which surround it. We do not believe in a standardised, one-size-fits-all approach to reputation measurement. Our normative questions and range of tried-and-tested analysis techniques allow us to set your organisation in context. But the most effective – and cost-effective - information is geared to the individual organisation's situation.
